cheating faucets

[SatHunter]

I am sick and tired of faucet owners cheating users out of satoshis by hiding the claims. They either have no claim buttons, or they demand you jump through hoops to click tiny dots they make the same colour as the background. List the ones you find here, and we'll refuse to use them until they clean up their act! (No ref links allowed)  I'll add new ones as people list them.

http://www.faucetgoldtime.com - the site says "To control Bots please click 6 different simbols and 2 secrets words on the web to Claim" The tiny dots were bad enough, but what do they mean "2 secret words"? Any 2 words on the whole page? How would I know what they are?

http://faucetsilverworld.com - as owner as above. Has 8 tiny little " marks in orange on an orange background. Can be worked around by highlighting the page, but why should we have to?

Or they say "captcha is incorrect" and they made us click several time`s one faucet!

As regards Faucet Gold Time, to me only asked to click on those 8 dots, which are very small, but can be found.
It seems that way of claim depend from country to country,like reward is not same to all.
Faucet owners are trying to protect themselves against bots, though it sometimes makes their faucet real mystery to solve.

I understand trying to protect themselves from bots, but orange dots on an orange background?? Do bots care about the colour of the dots?

[Lucius]

Certainly they should not go to such extremes,users will give up if not find way to claim in 10-15 second,more or less.

Disregard them and remove it in your faucet list. It will not worth your faucet time as a claimer. There are lots of faucets out there that only consuming seconds to claim and much better than those two.

I don't like those that make you solve the captcha etc and when you try to claim "captcha is incorrect" pop ups etc but i don't have anything against silverworld or goldtime.

And i consider them also a little less boring since you have sometimes to search for those dots(usually they are always in the same position so no need to rage).

Also you can claim only once or twice a day from them...it's not like you have to search for those dots every 10 minutes xD

Anyway it's just my personal opinion xD

yeah its a cheap way to make users click on ads. But if they get many accidental clicks, their adsesnse account will probably get  banned.

I will list such faucets too complicate to solve and avoid them.
List owner will not earn then...but perhaps the list owner are as well the faucets owners...
Who knows?

Yea me too ! i have made a list of all the best faucets with high payouts without all the scams and antibot click bullshit and it is bullshit or it wouldn't be so close to the adds that's  almost underneath them so 2 out of 5 end up clicking add.....  I have to prune my faucet  tree list to make sure they didn't go to the darks side over at  http://bitcoinfaucetrelay.com

Thanks for keeping up with your list, I know it's a lot work to go through each one. For example I didn't know bitcoinicker stopped paying, good to know!

A point has been reached were faucet owners are using this as an excuse for such actions.

Posts in the faucetbox thread have shown that using other Captchas such as FunCaptcha has helped reduce bot abuse substantially.

That was an eye opener, thanks! I just switched my sites over to funcaptcha after seeing that thread. It's only been switched over for a half hour and my dashboard reports over 30 bots have been blocked!

The transition from solvemedia over to funcaptcha was really smooth for me. Let me know if you need any help with it. Already up to 155 bots blocked since the switch.

My faucet is using FunCaptcha. Please, If anyone would have a problem with that write to me PM or directly in official thread:

[coinableS]

Yes, they show stats about blocked bots but im not sure if we can believe in this stats..  I take them only as some additional information.
